You Deserve to Die! (5K) (Continued)

"How is that possible!"

"... Why not? Your mere hypnotic ability is barely a fraction of the power of the Mystic Eyes. But... you truly deserve to die!"

Mahiro spoke softly, but his voice was unusually deep, and the killing intent emanating from him even caused the temperature of the air to drop sharply.

"Hey, I said... aren't you able to read minds? Come on, tell me what I'm thinking right now?"

The sound was like a roar echoing from the deepest hell.

In an instant, Zank felt as if he were in hell, with countless demons reaching out to him, trying to drag him into the depths of hell!

The sound not only returned, but it became even more intense!

But what's most terrifying is that he read Yotsuba Mahiro's mind—

Dismemberment by chariot, slow slicing, human pig, branding at the waist, skinning, drowning in the river, pouring lead into the river, breaking the spine, disemboweling, pulling out the intestines, gouging out the ears, killing! Kill...

The moment he received the reading, Zank's body trembled violently.

A mere beheading?

This is practically the gentlest method in this encyclopedia of torture!

"Hey, I said... you heard me, right? What do you think?"

Mahiro's face held her usual gentle smile, but in Zank's eyes, that smile was like a demon crawling out of hell!

His anger, his hatred, and his murderous intent were all clearly conveyed to Zank.

The reason was that the figure Zank showed him was none other than Maya Yotsuba!

Unforgivable!

Zank's pupils were trembling, and he instinctively wanted to look away, but Mahiro pulled his gaze back.

"Look me in the eye, you little brat!"

"Alas!!!"

"Now, count your sins, Zank," Yotsuba Mahiro said, looking at Zank.

Those pitch-black pupils seemed to devour his soul completely!

"Firstly, your biggest mistake was using their looks to seduce me."

As he spoke, his other hand had already climbed onto Zank's shoulder and grabbed him by the neck.

"Secondly, you shouldn't have appeared before me in that woman's guise!"

"No... please... spare my life... let me go..."

Zank was terrified, terrified from the bottom of his heart. His survival instinct compelled him to utter the same plea for mercy as those he had beheaded before!

But would Mahiro even listen to such pleas for mercy?

That's impossible.

"Now, I will put you to the punishment of having your bones removed!"

Sizzle!

With a Mahiro burst of force, Zhenxun tore Zank's body to shreds!

The body and head were separated.

A whole lamb spine appeared in his hand, its hot blood splattering all over the ground, staining the square crimson. Under the moonlight, this crimson looked particularly eerie.

"So, your blood is red too."

The warm blood on his cheeks gradually evaporated. After Mahiro the Imperial Arm off Zank's forehead, Mahiro casually tossed the yo-yo-like head to the ground.

What...

Is this deranged serial killer truly unafraid of death?

No, it's just that they haven't encountered anything that could instill a fear of death in them.

See, even the Imperial Arms are afraid.

It was as if the [Five Visions Omnipotent Observer] in his hand was trembling with fear, as if it was afraid that he would crush it with one hand.

At the same time.

The battle on Kurome's side has also ended.

Lubbock was captured, and even his Imperial Arms were confiscated, leaving him powerless to fight.

"This thing is quite fun; I'm sure Yotsuba Clan- sama will love it."

After fiddling with the Thread Imperial Arm [Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail] for a moment, Kurome happily put it away, then looked down at Tatsumi, who was being held down by a burly man named Wall below the building.

"Hey, aren't you going to run anymore? Is that all you can do?"

Tatsumi: "..."

Unable to move under the weight of the burly man, Tatsumi barely managed to lift his head and look at the girl on the roof who was emitting a sweet laugh, his eyes filled with resentment.

Hateful!

Who exactly is this guy?!

Despite possessing power capable of severing even a level-one dangerous species, he was completely suppressed by this burly man!

All the joints in my arms and legs were locked, and I couldn't move at all!

That's normal.

After all, Wall was a bodyguard in life. Even if his strength was reduced to some extent by being used as a corpse controlled by the Yatsufusa after his death, he would still be more than enough to deal with Tatsumi.

"How boring."

Kurome sat back on the massive body of Dastaguru, the Super Dangerous Beast that served as the raw material for the Imperial Arm, took out a snack bag from her waist, and started eating small cookies again.

But just then, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind her.

"Who?!"

Kurome turned her head sharply, only to see a shadow swiftly brush past her.

Immediately afterwards.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the shadow slammed into Wall like a meteorite.

He actually shattered Wall completely with a single punch!

The person's figure was now fully exposed to view.

"Leone!!!"

Lubbock and Tatsumi shouted in surprise.

"Sorry."

As the apology rang out, a flash of white light appeared, and the dangerous chimpanzee Ape Man, who was restraining Lubbock, was cut in two.

After the enormous corpse fell, a purple-clad girl appeared.

The hem of her cheongsam swayed gently, revealing a pair of long, slender legs encased in white stockings. She carried a huge pair of scissors on her back, her long, purplish-red hair fluttering in the wind, and her cool, aloof face and calm eyes were captivating.

"Sheele!!!"

Lubbock and Tatsumi's expressions of joy grew even stronger.

They arrived just in time, which means the four of them are definitely enough to deal with this Kurome!

They can even steal the Imperial Arms back...

Just as Lubbock was thinking this, Leone's voice came through.

"You two run! Sheele and I will cover our retreat!"

"What are you talking about, Leone? There are four of us..."

"Run!"

Before Lubbock could finish speaking, Leone turned around and coldly rebuked him.

Her face no longer held its usual playful smile; instead, it was filled with an unyielding seriousness.

The reason is simple.

Neither she nor the BOSS expected that Yotsuba Mahiro would be involved in this operation, and even bring the entire assassination squad with him!

Six squads, nearly a hundred assassins, are rapidly converging on this side.

But she couldn't just stand by and watch Lubbock and Tatsumi get captured like that, because if they were caught, they would only face death!

But she is different from Sheele.

They both have a relationship with Yotsuba Mahiro, so out of consideration for that relationship, they probably won't be killed immediately after being captured; they'll most likely be imprisoned.

Despite his ruthless nature when Yotsuba Mahiro is also a person who cherishes old friendships.

Although she was well aware that her actions were despicable...

Upon meeting Leone's gaze, Lubbock immediately understood and grabbed Tatsumi's arm, preparing to run away.

"Hey! Lubbock, what are you doing?! We have to help Leone and the others!"

"Idiot, shut up! Do you want to die?!"

Lubbock cursed Tatsumi fiercely, then, without a second thought, dragged him into the alleyway shrouded in darkness.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy~ Doya, go break their limbs and bring them back."

A new doll-like corpse is summoned; it is a woman from another ethnic group dressed like a cowgirl, and even her weapons are two revolvers.

However, just as Doya was about to rush into the alley, she was suddenly punched away by Leone.

"Don't get cocky, your opponent is me!"

"No, your opponent is me!"

Another voice quietly rang out, and at the same time a golden figure rushed out of the darkness, lashing out with a whip kick at Leone.

Leone blocked the attack with her arms, but the immense force sent her flying backward a great distance.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Despite already being half-beast, this attack was already proving difficult for Leone to handle.

Before her appeared another golden figure, with long golden hair flowing in the wind, and even her figure bore a striking resemblance to Leone.

"I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Cornelia," Leone joked, trying to strike up a conversation.

But to her surprise, the other party wasn't buying it at all.

"What a surprise, I never expected you, Leone, to be one of Night Raid members."

Cornelia said coldly, "You're a bodyguard at the Yotsuba Clan's house, where you're safe, have plenty of food, and are very free. Is such a stable life not enough for you? Why did you have to join Night Raid?"

"Haha... you're right, being a guard is indeed a very stable job, but I'm a wildcat, you know, I won't be satisfied with my current life."

Leone's words were quite insincere.

Who doesn't yearn for a high-paying, stable life?

If she hadn't had this aspiration, she wouldn't have joined the Night Raid!

"Is that so? I understand. Then I'll capture you myself! Crusher King —get dressed!"

Cornelia didn't waste any words and immediately equipped the Crusher King and attacked Leone.

Wow, that's fast!

Leone was somewhat surprised.

Even though she knew Cornelia was strong, she never expected that Cornelia's speed would be comparable to her own in her half-beast form... no, even faster!

The two exchanged blows, creating waves of air that swept outwards.

The ground cracked and rubble was blown away.

They fight using the most primitive method of combat—hand-to-hand combat, a brutal brawl where every punch lands!
